Constraining the Cratering Chronology of Vesta [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2014 Vesta has a complex cratering history, with ancient terrains as well as recent large impacts that have led to regional resurfacing. Crater counts can help constrain the relative ages of different units on Vesta's surface, but converting those crater ...

A Crater Chronology for the Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present a new crater chronology for Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. This tool can be used to interpret the collisional history of the bodies observed by NASA’s Lucy mission. The Lucy mission will visit a total of six Trojan asteroids: Eurybates, Polymele,

Martian Cratering 4: Mariner 9 Initial Analysis of Cratering Chronology [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973 Early analyses of cratering and other Martian surface properties that indicated extensive ancient erosion have been strongly supported by Mariner 9 data.

Review and Revision of the Lunar Cratering Chronology—Lunar Timescale Part 2
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Times and rates of planetary surface-modifying processes are crucial for the sequence and correlation of events on planetary bodies. For most planetary surfaces, superposition principles and crater densities are commonly used methods to collect relative ...

Sample-based Spectral Mapping around Landing Sites on the Moon—Lunar Timescale Part 1
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Studying the geology of a terrestrial body and its evolution requires being able to set up a chronology. Crater statistics is a powerful tool to do so.

Maria Basalts Chronology of the Chang’E-5 Sampling Site
Remote Sensing, 2021 Chang’E-5 is the first lunar sample return mission of China. The spacecraft was landed in the northwest of the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (43.0576°N, 308.0839°E) on 1 December 2020 and returned 1731 g samples from a previously unvisited region.

A New Martian Crater Chronology: Implications for Jezero Crater [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2021 Abstract Crater chronologies are a fundamental tool to assess the relative and absolute ages of planetary surfaces when direct radiometric dating is not available. Martian crater chronologies are derived from lunar crater spatial densities on terrains with known radiometric ages, and thus they critically depend on the Moon-to-Mars ...

An updated constraint on the local stratigraphy at the Chang'E-4 landing site
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2021 The Chang’E-4 mission has been exploring the lunar farside. Two scientific targets of the rover onboard are (1) resolving the possible mineralogy related to the South Pole-Aitken basin and (2) understanding the subsurface processes at the lunar farside ...
